Digital Citizenship Tip of the Week – 10/20/2014

Have a conversation with your kids about what it means to be a “digital citizen.” Have them sign a Family Media Agreement, a checklist that acts as a guideline for safe, thoughtful, and balanced media use. Common Sense Education offers three versions, for K-5, 6-8, and 9-12.

You can also check out Common Sense’s digital citizenship music videos, which address ways to be smart, safe, and responsible about technology. Their latest hip-hop video, Oversharing: Think Before You Post, raps the top 10 things to think about before posting, such as #1 Remember the Golden Rule, #2 Don’t Brag, and #3 Avoid TMI (too much information).
